simple sewing machine cover

I’m in the process of setting up a sewing station in my condo. When my last son flies the coop, I’ll be able to convert his bedroom into a craft room, but for now my best option is to carve out a corner in my bedroom. I’ve got my eye on the perfect sewing table from Ikea, but I’ve also been wanting to make a cute cover for my machine. Lots of tutorials are floating around on Pinterest, but which one is for me?

Well, this lazy girl kept it simple. In fact, I didn’t even follow a tutorial. I measured the width, height & depth of my machine, then cut 2 side pieces and 1 middle piece. I pinned them together, then placed them on the machine to adjust the snugness. At the last minute, I added pockets to each end. Stitched ’em up, and voila! 

I also added some extra tailoring by cutting a shoe box lid in half, then extending it with an extra piece of cardboard to the length I needed. I taped it together with heavy duty packaging tape, then placed it inside the fabric cover.

So easy to do but it makes a world of difference! With this sweet machine cover, now my sewing corner is beginning to come together.
